      What actually is a pyramid scheme? I read it is where the person at the top of the pyramid recruits someone to recruit other people and so on. People get a commission for everyone they recruit. Is that how it works or am I wrong?

    • @Vagrant202
      @Vagrant202 3 года назад +80

      @@fightforfreedom5292 yeah and that’s why this model ultimately falls apart. You see, people usually make money through selling products and get profits from it, not by people below feeding them money. Those unqualified people don’t have knowledge to sell things, and can only hope to recruit more people so they can get money from it. Once people don’t join your scam anymore, it start to break from the bottom up. The lower tiers suffer the most and have the most amount of people.

      @@jakethesnake1503 The idea of sitting back and watching the money roll in (which demands as much work as starting any salescompany with enough salesmen and management to relieve you of your own effort), in combination with you having to usually pay to recieve training or some form of plus deal is what is dishonest. Why don't they just hire you as a salesman at their expanding company with an increasing demand? Because the product isnt good enough. If it was, getting hired by them would be a challange, not an idea sold to you. So they convince you to sell a product after actually buying it and if you succeed they make money and if you fail they make money. If you fail you loose money but can't file for bancrupcy.
      It's as if i told you: Hey if you buy these piles of dirt from me, you could probably sell them for a bit more. And if you need advice I can give you guidence in exchange for more money.
      Its a basic salesposition with less security and usually a lot more manipulative hiring adds.

Barry invited me back to his place to 'have a dip in the jacuzzi'. Guess he was interested in large water pursuits even back then. Vividly remember him leering at me at the bar, goggling at me with those gaping unblinking eyes. Totally self-centred self- promoter.

    That hokey "electrolyzer" test is bunk. If you electrolyze water you get hydrogen and oxygen. The water doesn't turn colors from that alone; they've got some trick going on to make it change colors, and those colors are in no way a good test of water purity. I'm not surprised it tastes bad either, that's basically air conditioner condensation they're drinking. It's going to have picked up contamination from the air and nothing short of a reverse osmosis filter will get that out of there. And if you have a reverse osmosis filter you don't need a fancy condenser.

    Quick trick tip: notice during the electric test to show the differences in the waters, only one side was smoking when they took it out the of the cups. That side was the "dirty water." That smoke is coming from the coating they sprayed to make it seem dirty.

    • @lcloutier1000
      @lcloutier1000 4 месяца назад +21

      That smoke was heated chlorine and hydrogen gas coming off the anode and cathode reacting with the ambient air. Electrolysis produces Cl-2 and H-2 from the reaction with water (H20) and salt (NaCl). The saltier the water, the quicker it becomes dark when current is passed through it. Salts in water are actually good, they're minerals and "electrolytes" (like they put in Gatorade). However, passing electricity through metals dipped in water will make it unsafe to drink.

Rather then have me learn about the product u would be selling so i can explain to a potential customer how it would benefit them the person training me was insisting on me learning a script. A few times i asked him to let me to try to sell to the people and he said no because i could not remember the script. On the day i left, i told him people do not care about the script. if they are going to purchase what I am pitching I need to be able to explain to them how this product is better than all other similar products. when i was working at Sears i would make a point to listen to what the customer says and try to find products that meet their needs. If you are looking for a tv so your kids can play video games you likely want a cheap 15in tv and not a 75in plasma tv with surround sound stereo just like if you are looking for a tv for your Sunday night football meetups with your friends a 15in tv will not cut it for you. When it came to suggesting peripherals i would simply suggest ones that would enhance what was being bought. It would be my goal to have the customer leave the store with what they bought and not have to return 30 days later to return it. Lets just say that I met my monthly quotas in the first weeks of each month. Sales is all about solving the problems of those who come to you.

    This is like a triple scam. It's a simple dehumidifier that you can get cheaply anywhere, which is an inefficient way to produce water, promoted through a typical electrode scam trick, sold through a pyramid scheme. Oh, yes, and the distilled water that is being produced tastes terribly and is pretty bad for you.
    And, you don't need your whole filtration system. It's just taken the pure water out of the air. You don't need to filter it anymore.
    I'm somewhat surprised that there wasn't a stronger reaction from the dragons. This is the equivalent of a Nigerian prince and all they respond to is the pyramid scheme aspect. It was far worse than just that.

      "It's just taken the pure water out of the air. You don't need to filter it anymore."
      Haven't you noticed that all dehumidifiers clearly instruct you *not to drink* the water they produce? There's a reason for that. It's not safe. Rainwater isn't safe either. *Condensed water isn't safe.*
      Ironically, this product is one of the better 'water from air' devices (which are all, make no mistake, effectively scams) since it actually does include a filtration system. From what I can gather from their pitch, the water is held under UV-C light which will immediately kill any bacteria meaning the water it outputs will be perfectly safe.

    They're going to sell door to door, but need to leave the machine set up overnight or the water tastes terrible....

    (1 out of 100 homes) "Well, ok, I guess you can come in and show me"
    "We can't show you yet, we need to set up the machine now and come back tomorrow to do a demonstration"
    "Get out!"

    The worst part for me wasn’t the pyramid scheme. It was the science. Good tasting, healthy and clean water is supposed to have a mixture of minerals in it. If the machine is taking water from the air it would be water mixed with a bit of hydrogen, nitrogen and a few other gases. Even if they were just getting pure water (H2O) it still wouldn’t be as good as normal filtered tap water.

      Zeke Milvy in simple terms, it’s essentially distilled water

      Yes imagine if you don't ventilate your room and have two people farting hardcore in it. The water will appear slightly dark but in reality, its brown

      exactly, not only will it not resupply your body's much needed minerals, it will actually flush them out of the system. terrible idea & pitch. unless you're on the brink of dying of thirst, you shouldn't be drinking distilled water ...

      omg, wtf was HE smoking/using so i can avoid ever doing it? if you can't AT LEAST manage to keep the words "pyramid scheme" out of your pitch, no way do you deserve venture capital.
